Do you find bliss in lying comfortably in your bed, binge-watching re-runs of FRIENDS or Gossip Girl, a bowl of chips by your side and not a care in the world even though you know you have to get on with that analysis to be done by the end of the week? Do you love spending time listening to music with the volume cranked up all the way to block out the annoying sounds of the world outside despite the presentation that’s due Monday? Do you love spending time on Discord with all (3) of your friends, playing a newer version of the same FPS/TPS since Fortnite blew up for some ungodly reason, without even thinking about the stacks of assignments you haven’t thought about since the beginning of summer? Is a screen that last thing you see before falling asleep and the first thing you turn to as soon as you wake up?
If so, you may be succumbing to one of the most insidious diseases known to school-/college-going kids.
Get ready, spell it with me:
P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T-I-O-N
Yep, you know you have it, and you know you’re going to change one day. But that day is tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that. Until …… Na, there isn’t and end in sight, my friend.
Unless you do it the right way.
Because I’m a nice guy and have all the time in the world, I’m going to let you in on a little secret – the RIGHT way to procrastinate? What if I gave you a few tools to help you get a teensy bit more out of the day, without you even noticing it. What if I could turn you from the couch-potato you are, to the SuperFry you could be, with only a simple post every other day?
Think about it. Think about showering yourself with money and champagne, getting calls from professionals all over, asking you to help solve their problems for them, all while having a life allowing you to spread out on your bed, munching away on those Cheetos next to you.
And to think, all it’s going to really take is 5-10 minutes out of your 1440-minute day….
